John's basic point is correct. Once a shutdown is issued do not try
to connect and issue any commands until the command completes.
However, I think it is possible to generate "shutdown or statup in
progress" type error messages by getting a new sysdba session and
issueing commands other than another shutdown immediate. The one
command you can issue when a shutdown is already in progress is
"shutdown abort" in the case of a hung shutdown immedaite.
